After HPV vaccination
There is a heated discussion about why there are still cases such as cervical cancer
The doctor saidHPV vaccination does not mean that you will not get cervical cancer, but it can greatly reduce the risk of cervical cancer.
The 9-valent HPV vaccine includes high-risk HPV and low-risk HPV. Among them, the high-risk types are prone to cervical lesions, especially types 16 and 18, which are extremely high-risk."
Wang Min, director of the ** Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Fujian Provincial Cancer Hospital, said that although HPV vaccination is one of the effective measures to prevent cervical cancer, it should be noted that the injection of **HPV vaccine cannot completely prevent cervical cancerRegular cervical cancer screenings are required regardless of whether they have been vaccinated or not.
Cervical cancer screening is an important method to prevent cervical cancer and early diagnosis of lesions.
According to reports, many women are found to think that as long as they receive the HPV vaccine, they will be able to do it once and for all. However, there is currently no HPV vaccine that can 100% prevent all types of HPV infection, and even the 9-valent HPV vaccine can only cover about 92% of the oncogenic types.
Many women are already infected with high-risk HPV viruses at the time of vaccination, and there is still a chance of cervical cancer. Vaccination is not effective in removing pre-existing HPV infection, warts, intraepithelial neoplasia, etc., nor can it prevent cervical lesions or cervical cancer 100%.
The doctor notedAnyone who has had sex should include cervical cancer screening in their physical screening program. Even if you have been vaccinated against HPV, you still need to do regular cervical "HPV+TCT" screening. Once symptoms such as irregular bleeding or contact bleeding appear, it is necessary to be alert to the possibility of cervical lesions and go to a specialist in time.
In addition, if you can get the HPV vaccine, you should get it as soon as possible, because the effect of the vaccine is age-related, and the older you are, the less effective the prevention will be. It is recommended to get vaccinated before starting sexual activity. If you cannot receive HPV 9-valent vaccine due to limited conditions, HPV quadrivalent vaccine and HPV bivalent vaccine are also good choices.
